Which is the likeliest explanation for the attitude. Personally, I wasn't raised in a religious home, so I don't have the attitude that it's hurt me. But, in my opinion, part of becoming a mature individual is to take responsibility for my own actions, here, today, no matter WHAT has hurt me in the past. Hey--aces and eights are still a full house, right? ;> As for imposing beliefs, III:42 says "Success if thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not overmuch!" Sounds like good proof to me--if you seek sorrow, go for it. I prefer "Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us." I'll stop quoting now. ;> > said be patient, and I'm trying to do that. I would like to > meet a fellow Thelemite, and talk where the whole world (so > to speak) isn't watching. I do understand what you're saying, but there's not much you can do BUT be patient! Of course, netmail, snail mail, and multi-line boards can help in the interim. ;> > Yes, I have had alot of help from fellow Thelemites, they > have helped a great deal. They all indeed are openminded, and > willing to help. Later.... LOL ;) And see what happens? Those with eyes to see & ears to hear pay attention! Seems to attract more people than standing on the streetcorner yelling about hayull-fire and damnation, threatening and prosletyzing (sp??) ever has. > ... This tagline is just for Rose Dawn.... Gee, I feel so special! ;> Love is the law, love under will. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
